Just ordered from ewiz.com for the first time, and I am impressed. I ordered on friday evening, and already got my part(1.6ghz Dothan) today(monday). There prices are pretty decent when compared with newegg and zipzoomfly, shipping prices aren't as good, but the egg, zipzoomfly and monarch didn't have what I was looking for, so I figured I would give them a try.

They did ok for me when I ordered a Seasonic power supply from them. One issue though - their packaging. Like many companies, they fail to realize that damage can come at a box from ANY direction. This of course includes the bottom of the box - that side needs protection as well. They failed to do this - the power supply package was contacting the bottom of the box directly, which in my book is a big no-no. If that thing had been dropped on the corner of a pallet, or kicked right there, the force of it would have been transferred to the power supply quite effectively.
Fortunately, the box was not subjected to excessive mistreatment in transit, and the unit arrived intact. I just wish they'd be more careful about packaging.

EXACTLY!!! same thing happened to me. then, i put the psu in my comp, and there was nothing! no power at all! i called them, and they said i would have to pay some crazy amount of money, like $75 for shipping and diagnostics. however, i did get it to work by running it in my old comp, so it all worked out well.

i couldnt believe it. they put the psu on the bottom and filled the box with those big air pocket things. idiots...

Your absolutly right about the packaging, I just opened it up. They had the cpu box face down at the bottom of the box, with all the cushoning above it. The part of the box that had the cpu in it was facing the bottom of the box, leaving it basicly unprotected. Because of that I will not likely order from them again.
